Since I am a boomer and don’t like to read illiterate babble by an illiterate person, I did not finish it.
There has never been one single generation in American history that has controlled the levers of power in any field. The World War II generation was in the mix until the 80s; political world much, much longer, and still are.
The unversity radicals appear to be much younger than boomers.
The event that started the decline of the U S was the Vietnam war and no boomers were involved except to fight and die, in some periods as many as two hundred per week dying, not counting the injured.
The seeds of the decline of the Western world were identified by C S Lewis in his book The Abolition of Man, published in 1943. It is uncanny what he predicted.
“””””What was the archetypal boomer moment of recent years? Probably Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.”””””
In that 2016 election Hillary won 45% of the white 50-64 year old vote and 44% of the white 65+ vote according to Pew studies of validated voters.
Bullshit! End of story!
LOL listen to this azz wipe. The same generation that says leave the 2M Somalis alone, with their 3rd grade education living off US taxpayers X 38 family members for 70 years. Mo Ron…
Woodstock-era losers were the start of the every 6 week sore the reappears on logic.
Why the heck shouldn’t they spend all their $$$? It is their money!

Day care predates boomer political power, it started in the 1940s.
“John F. Kennedy, in a message to the conference, expressed his awareness of the problem, stating, “I believe we must take further steps to encourage day care programs that will protect our children and provide them with a basis for a full life in later years.” Kennedy’s message, along with subsequent statements, implied that his administration sought a broad-based approach to child care. In a widely circulated report, the President’s Commission on the Status of Women acknowledged that maternal employment was becoming the norm and pointed out that child care could not only help women who decided to work outside the home but also serve as a developmental boon to children and help advance social and racial integration.”
(snip)
“in two welfare reform bills, passed in 1962 and 1965, Congress linked federal support for child care to policies designed to encourage poor and low-income women to enter training programs or take employment outside the home.”
:: I’m A proud boomer. So is my husband. We built this country. We added value. ::
Boomers ,,, WE, made the USA the greatest military force in the history of the world while making the US the greatest economy in the history of the world.
All while working hard to “give our children a better chance at success.”
Yeah ... we frittered that all away by saving money and collecting social security at 59&1/2. /sarc
Not to nitpick, but the nationwide 18 year old vote amendment wasn't ratified until 1971. In 1966, if memory serves, 20 year olds could only vote in GA and KY. That amendment (26th) is one of the most forgotten ones.
I can kind of see his point. From the 1960s through the 1980s, most of Congress were WWII veterans. By 2015, they were all gone. Boomers are another big bump passing through the snake now.
There is no way around reality. The boomers extracted everything from this country and left the debt and everything we are dealing with today for all the younger generations to deal with. I have nothing but contempt and disdain for the most selfish generation. And it’s not all your fault. The greatest generation has a lot of the blame for raising the most selfish self absorbed humans this country has ever seen. Everything that came from your generation has ruined this country and we have to clean up this mess, if it can be cleaned up. If you are lucky you will leave this world unscathed, cause if the millennials have their way, there will be retribution.
Yes to one that cannot make change or know with certainty what a woman is.
That don't know the significance of the big hand and the little hand or will not be able to read old letters left to them because they are in cursive writing.
"Idiocracy" is modern day prophecy. /great sigh
“You?”’ I’m generation Jones and have never owned real property.
Most of my kids own their own homes! But I never have.
There are millions of boomers. Many are on this site. Founder JimRob is a boomer. Donald Trump is a boomer. There are millions of great boomers to miss.
How foolish to dismiss an entire generation because some among the millions are not saving an inheritance for their kids. Every generation has buttheads.
80 is the new 30.
Why the heck shouldn’t they spend all their $$$? It is their money!

Hey, I agree, but boomers are the first generation to not care about leaving their family set up for the future. Again, cementing just how selfish they are. Hey man, just own the selfishness. It is what it is. Instead there are people who get all butt hurt when they hear the truth,
Too bad it will not help them in any way.
The people truly running things are men in their 40's and 50's. It has always been that way in the past and still is today. "Those people" are not Boomers.
To be sure, there are still a lot of senior executives in their 60's and 70's hanging on to their positions. They are mostly phoning it in and approving all of the critical decisions made by their staff.
The people ripping off the Gen-Z folks are Millennials and Gen-X folks. They inherited a system of grift and wealth extraction that has been built up for the last 80 years or so and they are only trying to keep that machinery running a while longer. They will not succeed.
If there is any good news, as the Boomers die off and the illegal immigrants get expelled, housing will get much less expensive for the younger generations. That is what happens when you have 65 buyers for every 100 houses that come on the market.
Sorting that out will be very messy.
It’s called generalizing. Of course there are gonna be outliers but the majority of boomers , well, I’m not gonna rehash.
You must’ve got cut out of a will.....
This Boomer has a nice nest egg for his two sons.
“The boomers I know are liquidating everything they have and are spending it all. My uncles are taking literal the words “the last check I write or is written for me will bounce”. Boomers are the most selfish generation and have left this country trying to in ruins. You will not be missed.”
For the love of God someone call the wambulance!!!!
